Microsoft Pocket Excel works with Microsoft Excel on your desktop PC to give you easy access to copies of your workbooks. You can create new workbooks on your hp Jornada, or you can copy workbooks from your desktop PC to your hp Jornada. Synchronize workbooks between your desktop PC and your hp Jornada so that you have the most up-to-date content in both locations. Pocket Excel provides fundamental spreadsheet tools, such as formulas, functions, sorting, and filtering, which enable you to create simple workbooks, such as expense reports and mileage logs.
